Tax Commission recommendations

Summary

Lenihan asked whether the Commission on Income Taxation’s recommendations would inform the consolidation and what departmental review was underway. Bruton called it a separate question; Mitchell reiterated that his concern was making the legislation readable.

Within the umbrella of the new, updated consolidated Income Tax Act, which is so necessary — as Deputy G. Mitchell has said — would the Minister confirm that the recommendations of the Commission on Income Taxation will be taken into account? What progress is the Minister making with regard to whatever examination is taking place in his Department on those recommendations?

John Bruton Mr. J. Bruton Fine Gael

That is an interesting question but a separate one.

I appreciate that, but would the Minister not care to elaborate in view of the importance of the matter?

Gay Mitchell Mr. G. Mitchell Fine Gael

I am interested merely in rendering the legislation readable.
